He explained that these cases are located: 2 in Lara, 3 in Falcón, 3 in Mérida, 1 Sucre, 1 Barinas, 1 Miranda, 1 Aragua, 8 Apure and 1 Monagas.

He mentioned that to date 43,089 people have entered the country, and 407 of them are positive for Covid-19. The recent spike in cases reported in Venezuela are a direct consequence of the Covid-19 catastrophe in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru unlike the humanitarian approach of the Boliviarian revolution that, in the middle of US imperialistic attacks, has prioritized the health of many Venezuelan migrants stranded or wanting to return to their homeland.
